Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked turkey breast, cubed or shredded
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced or cubed
  • 5 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the dressing by combining olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a jar or bowl. Whisk or shake until smooth.
  2. Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly.
  3. Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  4. Prepare the turkey by cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Slice the avocados last to minimize browning.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the greens, turkey, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Drizzle half of the dressing and toss gently.
  7. Fold in the avocado pieces carefully.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with remaining dressing, salt, or pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure avocados are ripe but not mushy. Store leftovers in an airtight container, adding extra lemon juice to the avocado to prevent browning.
